When I tried to schedule a calculation for the next day (waiting several
10000 seconds), I noticed that Sys.sleep does never return (R version
2.1.0 on Linux). From the C code I expect that the maximum number of
seconds is about 2000 (2^31/1e6), which is system-dependent.
##Sys.sleep <- function(time)
## invisible(.Internal(Sys.sleep(time)))
Sys.sleep <- function(time) {
nloops <- time%/%1000
while (nloops>0) {
nloops <- nloops-1
.Internal(Sys.sleep(1000))
}
invisible(.Internal(Sys.sleep(time%%1000)))
}
